Fed meeting

The Fed’s two-day meeting ends on Wednesday with an announcement at 2 p.m. ET, followed by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press conference. In the wake of Friday’s heated CPI report which showed inflation reached a 40-year high of 8.6%, speculation grew that Fed policymakers would raise interest rates by 75 basis points on Wednesday, not just 50 basis points.

The Fed doesn’t like to be surprised, and Powell said after the Fed’s May meeting that 75 basis points were off the table. The central bank could still raise rates by 50 basis points, with Powell then indicating that 75 basis points are on the table for July and September.

But after Fed officials apparently leaked to The Wall Street Journal On Monday, a significant rate hike is being considered. You see the market moving 75 basis points probably.

market analysis

The Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite all jumped lower on Monday, but closed mixed. Russell 2000 cut its lowest in May, marking its worst level since November 2020. The small business index is below pre-Covid highs.

Given the Fed’s massive meeting on Wednesday afternoon, Tuesday’s low-volume market move is not meaningful.

Whether the Fed raises rates by 50 basis points or 75 basis points on Wednesday, the macroeconomic climate is not favorable for the market, and may not be favorable for some time to come. Recession risks are high, while inflation will remain high for the foreseeable future.

However, what really matters is the reaction to the news. The stock market may rebound after Wednesday’s rate hike and Powell’s comments, but that won’t signal a change of character per se. Investors need to see a Follow-up day To confirm any rally attempt. Even then, a confirmed uptrend could be another short-term bear market rally.

At the moment, the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 are in bearish markets, while the Dow is in a sharp correction.
